I didn't KNOW they would never sell! Besides, NOBODY was doing games
in euphoria before I was. Everybody was interested in games programming
then. I even wrote the first non RDS euphoria programming book, assuming
people would want to know how to do this stuff. I did careful market
research about my games before I started them. We had a niche market, and
the highest quality games to fill it. Had my marketing people
done their jobs after I finished, I'd be laughing from the bank now! So
there! NYAH!

The book's still available.
